As soon as the official White House website changed hands to the Trump administration on Jan. 20, a page on the site explaining the judicial branch as part of “our government” was removed.

Who ordered the removal? What America needs right now is another leak.

We must be vigilant. These fuckers got away with this omission for nearly 10 days. Every utterance, printed word and pixel must be scrutinized when dealing with creeping fascism.

Trump merely jumped the gun. The removal wasn’t supposed to occur until the Judicial Branch was officially eliminated.

They’ll once again regard the Judicial Branch to be part of our government when they have the Supreme Court under their control.

It’s like these asses think they can make knowledge go away just by deleting a webpage or putting out a gag order. It’s not that easy, Dear Leader.

It’s not. They also have to have Kellyanne Conway appear on Fox and remind everyone that that knowledge no longer exists. Then it goes away.

Has anyone looked at the Issues pages on the website? It looks like they were written by a high school intern. There’s this gem on the foreign policy page:

Finally, in pursuing a foreign policy based on American interests, we will embrace diplomacy. The world must know that we do not go abroad in search of enemies, that we are always happy when old enemies become friends, and when old friends become allies.

The world will be more peaceful and more prosperous with a stronger and more respected America.

“Happy”?!

And on the law enforcement page:

The dangerous anti-police atmosphere in America is wrong. The Trump Administration will end it.

The Trump Administration is committed to reducing violent crime. In 2015, homicides increased by 17% in America’s fifty largest cities. That’s the largest increase in 25 years. In our nation’s capital, killings rose by 50 percent over the past four years There were thousands of shootings in Chicago last year alone.

And:

Our job is not to make life more comfortable for the rioter, the looter, or the violent disrupter. Our job is to make life more comfortable for parents who want their kids to be able to walk the streets safely. Or the senior citizen waiting for a bus. Or the young child walking home from school.

I mean, holy Jeezus, THIS is the drivel you slap onto the official White House website?!

I’m so sick already of smug-queen Kellyanne Conway and her disdain for the truth.

Jesus Christ on a shingle, this makes “All your base are belong to us” look like the writings of Dickens.

Also, Ms von Holst, noted super grammarian, has looked at the site and thinks it’s gross and amateurish.

So, there it is.

It makes “MAGA” look like “Four score and seven years ago…”

If they write at anything over a fifth grade level, Trump’s supporters won’t be able to understand it. Neither will Trump.

Some good advice from a known rabble-rouser:

“This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.”

Actually my bet is that this text is written to satisfy Trump. They probably ran a few bits by him and he instructed them about “good words”.

I have it on good authority that Trump has run out of words and will now have to reuse the same best words. Trump does not apologize if anyone is incovenienced by this development.
